-M'y invention has for its objectto provide a display device having woven panels inthe openings in which'b'r ackets may be mounted for-displaying'articlesw Another'object of-the invention is to pro vide bracketsfor ii-se in connection with'the disclosed. Y A

woven panels.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the followingspecification, "in which the preferred form of the invention is In the-drawings similar reference-characters denote similar parts in all the views, in which; v

F ig. 8 is a plan view of the blank used in manufacturing the bracket illustrated in Fig. 7; and

Fig. 9 is a perspective view illustrating a modified form of the invention.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that a rear frame 5 is provided, to the sides of which side frames 6 are articulated, there being in addition two front frames 7 which are articulated to the sides of the side frames. WVhile the two front frames 7 are illustrated in Fig. 7 of the drawings, only one of these front frames is illustrated in Fig. 5, the second front frame being omitted I Specification .of Lette rsilPatent.

eas 1 53911 1 1 beingheld this position by L-hooks 11 which are adapted to be disposed through slots 12 in the panel 10 and be-tu'rned to hold the panel 10 in positionslln'a similar manner a panel 13 is held in position against the rear frame 5,-a'nd a for sup-porting brackets, the brackets having tongues whichmay be disposed between the panel 14: is held against the front frame 7. a-

- The woven panels are provided as a means split wood members of the weave, and being provided fwithlegs or depending portions for engagingthe outer surfaces :of the weave. In this mannerthe brackets may be adjusted relatively to the display device as maybe desired, andbe held in position after adjustment. Whenapaper or other-coveringu8is employed,;cuts 30 are madeiin' the PZLPGIIQL with'arearwardly extending tongue 16 and lateral wings 17. The tongue 16 is bent downwardly. at the point where it is connected with the body 15, and the wings 17 are bent downwardly at the dottedlines 18. The tongue 16 of this bracket may then be inserted and pressed downwardly in an opening in the weave, and the wings 17 will engage the outer surface of the weave to hold the body 15 of the bracket horizontally.

When the bracket illustrated in Fig. 7 is employed, a blank such as is illustrated in Fig. 8 is made use of, this blank having a body 19 with a rearwardly extending tongue 20, the tongue having wings 21 one at each side, the wings beincr connected with the tongue adjacent the body, but being separated from the body so that when the tongue 20 is bent downwardly as illustrated in Fig. 7, the wings 21 may be bent at right angles to the tongue. When this bracket is employed and the tongue 20 is pressed downwardly in an opening. in the woven panel, the wings 21 will engage the outer face of the woven panel to prevent the forward end of the body from moving downwardly out of position. 7

Still another form of bracket is employed, this form being illustrated at 22, and being provided with a looped end 23 which is disposed in a recess 24; at the side of the frame,
